Absolutely without foundation, Secretary R. H. Boding of the local chamber of commerce declared today, were the reports reaching Malin, Oregon, that at a recent meeting in Red Bluff, the statement was made to the effect that Tule Lake bed was only alkali and unfit for agricultural purposes; that the settlers were moving away because they were unable to make a living on the land; and that since the greater part of Tule Lake bed was in California the people should take steps to secure legislation to have the reclamation project abandoned and the lake bed reflooded.
